Q

Why might inc HR impair coronary BF?

A

Tachycardia shortens the diastolic interval, which may impair coronary flow since these vessels are perfused during diastole.

Q

What change to BP may impair coronary BF?

A

any influence that lowers aortic diastolic pressure may compromise coronary blood flow

large fraction of total coronary flow occurs during diastole, so driving pressure at the entrance of the coronary arteries during diastole is an important factor to assure adequate flow
